copy/ftp

[Gerry Downey]

I'm trying to do a copy/ftp onto a windows 2003 server. The ftp space on the 2003 server is set up correctly.

The command I use is
copy/ftp xx.txt server"username password"::"dir"

But I get the error "no logical name match"

I can ftp onto the server, enter the user name and password, CD to the correct directory and then PUT the files. It only fails when I do the copy/ftp command.

The Alpha is running VMS V7.3-1 and TCPIP V5.3 ECO4

Thanks for any help

What syntax are you using for the target directory? What happens if you explicitly specify dir/xx.txt as the target filename?

You might want to try the /verbose qualifier to see if that tells you anything.

Gerry,
I guess your command has a syntax error; may be in dir component if you are using vms convention.
Example of wrong command:
$ COPY/FTP XX.TXT W2K3"USER PWD"::"[TEMP]"
Example of right command:
$ COPY/FTP XX.TXT W2K3"USER PWD"::"\TEMP"

Gerry
don't forget you could use /NOSTRU qualifier.

Gerry,

If Craigs and Antonios sugestions have not work, can you post the exact copy of the error you received?

Try to copy with a command without the output file specification:

copy/ftp xx.txt server"username password"::

Have you tried

$ copy/ftp/verbose file.txt
server"domain\user pwd"::"c:\dir\file.txt"



hth,

[Gerry Downey]

Thanks for your replies guys. The exact command I us is
copy/ftp *.txt servername"username password"::"\didata"

Error: %SYSTEM-F-NOLOGNAME, no logical name match.

If I use /verbose and /nostruvms, or leave off the directory name at the end, I get exactly the same response.

I have also found that if I put in an incorrect username and password or even use a server name that doesn't exist, I still get the same error.

[Gerry Downey]

Hi HF, we both posted at the same time so didnt see your reply until I had completed my reply.
I have just tried your suggestion and received the exact same error.

COPY/FTP uses the program defined by the logical name OPENVMS$FTP. How is this defined on your system?

[Gerry Downey]

$ $ sho log openvms$ftp
"OPENVMS$FTP" = "SYS$SYSTEM:TCPIP$FTP_CLIENT.EXE" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

[Bojan Nemec]

Gerry,

Try to look at the OPENVMS$FTP logical name. Is that logical name defined? Where is pointing? If you do a DIR OPENVMS$FTP did you receive something like this:

Directory SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]

TCPIP$FTP_CLIENT.EXE;1

Total of 1 file.

I have also found that if I put in an incorrect username and password or even use a server name that doesn't exist, I still get the same error.

if you receive same error on wrong server means trouble is local. The logical name is right (it's the same on my system).
Can you copy onto your same system?
Example:
$ COPY/FTP XX.TXT -
LOCALHOST"user pwd"::"[DIR]"

Hi,

I definitely type to slow ;)

Ftp can have many logical names to adjust its work. So check all the TCPIP$FTP* logical names. Check also the SYS$LOGIN and SYS$DISK logical name.

And did you try Antonios sugestion?

Bojan

[faris_3]

Have you used domain\username instead of
username ?

On XP i cannot specify the directory.
It is defined in the properties of
IIS ftp server.

Just specifying the file name works :

$copy /ftp/verbose login.com 11.132.69.2"domain\faris Password"::"test" Passive is ON.
220 Microsoft FTP Service Connected to dhcp-11-132-69-2.xxx.yy.com.
331 Password required for domain\faris.
230 User domain\faris logged in.
227 Entering Passive Mode (11,132,69,2,17,124).
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
226 Transfer complete.

[faris_3]

Is $ copy /ftp to a VMS system working ?

Can you post a
$ set watch file /class=major
$ copy/ftp ...

/HF

[Gerry Downey]

I CANT copy/ftp onto the Alpha. I have attached the output from the set watch command.

Gerry,

Comparing yours output from the set watch file /class=major, I see that the next file open on my system is TCPIP$HOSTS.DAT. So check the logical name (and the file) TCPIP$HOSTS.

Bojan

[Gerry Downey]

sho log tcpip$host
"TCPIP$HOST" = "SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]TCPIP$HOST.DAT;1" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)


I have looked at the contents of TCPIP$HOST.DAT and it all looks ok. I have noticed however, that the Alpha TCPIP hostname in this file is not the same as the Alpha system name, could this be a problem?

[faris_3 · Accepted solution]

It seems there is a problem in the TCPIP
configuration.

First check the inet logicals :

$ show log *inet*

Then
- check host table for your own name
- tcpip show (conf) comm/interface

hth,
HF

[faris_3]

Problem with TCPIP$INET_HOST ?

$ deass /sys /exe "TCPIP$INET_HOST"
$ copy /ftp/verbose login.com - 151.10.9.2"domain\faris Password"::test
%SYSTEM-F-NOLOGNAM, no logical name match

[Gerry Downey]

Ah hah!! I think we're getting somewhere.

show log *inet* shows that no logicals are defined. (I compared it with another Alpha that has these logicals defined)

Any suggestions as to how these logicals get
defined?

[Bojan Nemec]

Gerry,

It seems that you have similar problems which are described in this thread. Take a look:

http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=717760

Bojan

[Bojan Nemec]

The TCPIP$INET_HOST is defined by the TCPIP command SET [CONFIGURATION] COMMUNICATION /LOCAL_HOST= . Check with SHOW COMMUNICATION and SHOW CONFIGURATION COMMUNICATION.

Bojan

[faris_3]

or redo the config using
sys$manager:tcpip$config.com

[Gerry Downey]

That has fixed the problem. The inet_host
was not defined. I ran the config procedure again and this set up the logicals, and now
my copy/ftp works.

Thanks everyone
